Seeing as you're the only non sponsored by sigma person i've come across holding it down for them, yes.
Every pro wedding photographer i've worked with manages to work in their disappointment with sigma.
And let me say again, for that type of money, their art lenses better be good
Guess I'm not hip then.
Though, if I was a pro, I wouldn't be using SIgma. I was and still am recommending Sigma on the basis of a regular consumer.
Nah i believe its pure lens issue because when i use 50mm stm, i always gets a perfect placed focus because i always shoot on one shot and high shutter speed, going to meet the guy who are going to sell the 35mm this weekend, hopefully the lens will be perfect heheheh
So bro, do you think buying a 35mm L mark 1 will be a great move? Hahahahafunny because the 50mm stm is only $100
i recently gave mine to a friend who copped a 70d

I shoot mainly some portraits, street photographydepends on what you're shooting.
That lens would be great for me to have but it wouldn't do anything worth the $1,000 price tag my 24-70 2.8 wont do when i adjust it to 35mm.
It would go unused in my bag.
Also, shooting f/ 1.4 doesn't appeal to me at the 35mm focal length.
all personal preference though.

Will it suit me? Or 24-70 mark 1 will be a better one?

So I own both the 35L1 and 24-70 2.8 II. The 24-70 was a recent pick up, so the 35L1 was one of the main lenses that I used for awhile. While there is crossover, I do feel that there's value in owning the 35L1 even with a zoom, mainly because of the ability to shoot wider than 2.8 and also because I feel that Canon's primes tend to provide a different look and feel that can't be replicated. I would mainly go as wide as 1.8 or 2.0, and having that ability is nice in certain situations. If I could only have one though, I'd probably go with the 24-70. If you can get the version 2 of that lens, go for it. After spending a long weekend with it, it's awesome.
As far as what to look for in buying a used lens, I think someone else covered that and I don't have much to add. The focus should be quick and snappy; if you find that it hunts too much or if there's any type of hesitation, then don't pick it up. My 35L1 didn't require any type of adjustments and was good right out of the box. I purchased mine used from B&H. I didn't pay attention to the serial number either; whatever model I have, it performs great and gave me a real appreciation for primes lenses.
My prime lens line up is the 35L1, 50L, 100L and 135L and I'd like to add the 85L. Even with zooms that cover those focal lengths, I wouldn't get rid of any of those lenses. I could probably do everything I need to do with the 24-70 and 70-200, but the primes are nice to have and like I had mentioned, the "look" you can achieve from those lenses is

I went to the Air Force Academy graduation last week, where President Obama gave a speech. It was a really fun time. The thunderbirds performed their show after the ceremony. One of the thunderbird jets crashed after the show while returning to the AF base they were stationed at. Luckily, the pilot ejected safely and there were no injuries on the ground.
yo, i have to say these images really convinced me to check out an air show! thunderbirds were scheduled to perform but canceled, still a pretty awesome event, i had no idea it would be as packed as it was but it was pretty impressive all around and it was free to the public!...i don't know that i would have went were it not for seeing how good your shots were...i took an insane amount of shots; manual focus at an effective focal length of 750mm is not easy #captainobvious but my hit rate is looking decent so far...

SMH at the 35mm not being on either list
New toys. Nikon 85mm 1.4 and 20mm 1.8. Never realized how wide 20mm was compared to 24mm lol. I'm a fan of the focal length.
I don't think I've bought a lens for my main system in a couple of years. Was trying to build a mirrorless system but got rid of it. It didn't feel robust enough for me. For walking around and vacations, it was just more convenient to use my phone.
